I put CM7 on an SD card just for fun and to see what the hype was about.

I am pretty sure I will probably in the future stay with this setup using a dual boot if I can figure it out or placing on the NC with a dual boot.

I have found lots of Apps that make using the NC much more than a reader and if B & N could get it together and provide them on the stock NC then running 2 OS's wouldn't be necessary. I fully understand their position as it is a business and they want to make money off the apps and most people would just grab the free ones as I have. If they opened up the NC and charged say a small subscription to the apps market say $4.99 a month they probably could get a lot of people on board.

I would encourage everyone to try the SD card with CM7 to at least see if it suits their purpose. You can easily pop out the card if you want to use the stock NC.
